The Cemetery

Mount Olivet is the churchyard cemetery of the Saint Joseph of the Valley Catholic parish
outside of Leavenworth, Kansas.
A substantial index of the graves in Mount Olivet is available from
Find-A-Grave.

The churchyard holds the graves of some of the pioneer residents of Leavenworth County,
including those of my ancestors in the Herley and Kennedy families.
